Chicago got through one big, tough, grinding team that was practically limping, with key guys playing injured. I don't see them getting through 2, especially when the second is at 100%, energized and firing on all cylinders. Chara kept Crosby from being any more offensively threatening than a 4th line grinder. And if the Hawks start to get frustrated, don't tell me Toews and Kane won't start doing the same individual, selfish plays etc. And Crosby is better than either. If you saw at all what the Bruins did in shutting down their last two opponents, I don't think Chicago's home ice is going to mean diddly squat.
It'll be fairly low scoring, but I see some 1-0, 2-0 decisions coming in Bostons favor with Rask putting up the cement wall. They'll at least split the two games in Chicago, then the B's will take over at home.
